Sortie rapide à vélo de Martin à Vrútky

This gentle ride takes you from Martin to Vrútky—two neighboring towns nestled in northern Slovakia’s scenic Turiec Valley. Starting in Martin, a well-known cultural hub famous for its literary history and the Slovak National Museum, you’ll pedal mostly on well-maintained asphalt and paved cycleways for a super smooth ride.

The route covers almost 8 kilometers, winding quietly northward through mostly flat terrain—there’s barely any climbing, so it’s great if you want a relaxed outing. About 57% of your route is dedicated cycleway, with tranquil roads making up the rest, which means you’ll hardly need to worry about traffic. Glide alongside greenery, pass local neighborhoods, and enjoy a lovely slice of Slovak countryside.

After about 8 kilometers, you’ll roll into Vrútky, a key railway hub with a distinct local flavor. It’s a small town, but a vital connection for travelers heading deeper into the hills or across Slovakia. Pop into a café, or hop on a train for your next adventure. Happy cycling!
